Adjourned Meeting of British Resident,


There was very fair attendance at
the adjourned meeting of British resi-
dents last night to advance the business
OF suitable celebration of the Jubilee
anniversary of Queen Victoria's acces-
sion
Hon. A. S. Cleghorn reported yer.
Daily from the general committee ap-
pointed in the interval since the pre-
llminary meeting. They had met last
Friday and decided to recommend a
picnic to be held on June 10th. Infor-
nation was given the meeting by HIM
self and other members of committee
to the effect that ST., 200 had been sub.
scribed for the Victoria Fund and Ssoo
for festive celebration of the day.
Mr. ]. A. Kennedy moved, Mr.. R.
J. Creighton seconded, and it was re.
solved that the report Of the committee
be adopted.
On motion OF Mr.. T. Rain Walker,
seconded by Mr.. Savage, it was re-
solved that the fund be called the Vic
toria Fund, to be established for in.
vestment under the management of the
British Benevolent Society, the interest
arising therefrom to be for the use of
said society.
1t was also resolved, that on the day
to be officially announced for the cele-
bration Of the fifieth anniversary of
Queen Victoria's accession there shall
be picnic.
Judge Bickerton discussed the ques-
ton of suitable locality for a picnic.
II 1t was to be at Kapiolani Park he
feared that it would cost more for
transportation than the fund would
warrant They could not, he thought,
count on the subscription for this pur-
pose going above $500. He recon-
mended writing to Mr.. Wilcox on
Kaual for the use Of his grounds on
King street. The amount stated by
him would not be near enough for a
picnic at the park.
Mr.. Henry J. Hart referred to the
expenses of the Fourth Of July picnic
at the park two years ago, in support
Of the remarks Of the previous speaker.
Major A. B. Hayley offered the com
mittee free horses if they could get
BUSES. (Applause.)
MIR. Cleghorn mentioned that Mr.
H. ]. Nolte had offered the free use OF
the Casino premises at the park, for
dancing, and would likely place his
cooking utensils there at the disposal
of the committee.
Mr.. r. Cation moved, seconded by
Rev. A. Macintosh, that a committee
be appointed to carry out the arrange
ments for the picnic. This gave rise
to fresh discussion on transportation.
Judge Bickerton said the subscrip:
ton list had gone outside Of British
residents, so that other nationalities
had claim on free transportation il
provided, and the committee was going
TO have trouble
The motion passed and a commit
tee was appointed.
Judge Bickerton and Mr.. Walter
Hill declined to serve on the commit
tee, the latter observing that he thought
it was so large as to be unwiel6J. Mr..
Walker replied that sub committees
being necessary the number was not
too large.
